HACC Client data elements • Client data elements only need to be collected ONCE as part of client registration (refer Client Registration Standard PD2007_094 and Client Registration Guidelines GL2007_024). • In most cases this information will only need to be checked at initial Client presentation to ensure that the information is current.
HACC Client data elements Client privacy and confidentiality issues: • It is important that clients (and their carer/s) understand the nature of the data collection and are comfortable with their data being used for statistical analysis. • Your Agency is required to provide an information leaflet to clients to inform them about what information is collected, by whom, how it will be used, and their rights in relation to it. This should be provided irrespective of whether the information was collected from a third party or directly from the client. • Use this as an opportunity to remind clients how their data is handled to safeguard their privacy as well as ensure that their recorded information is up to date.
